NAMI Rhode Island - The State's Voice on Mental Illness

NAMI Rhode Island Is On A Mission!

How often have you heard - “What is NAMI?” The truth is, the majority of the people in our communities haven't heard about the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). If people don't know about us, they can't access the wonderful education, support and advocacy programs we have to offer.

NAMI-RI is on a mission! We want to increase our recognition. In fact, we want to be recognized as the 1st resource for people struggling with mental illness.

Will you join us in our 3rd annual NAMI Walk? We want support from all facets of our communities--Psychiatrists, consumers, family members, therapists, health centers, hospitals, etc. This is a chance to really reach out and let people know about all the resources NAMI provides in our communities and encourage them to join the NAMI-RI mission.

If we can increase our membership by 20 percent or more, we will be more visible in our local communities and across the state! We sincerely hope you will join us in working to make NAMI Rhode Island a household name!
